MINA server behind a load balancer

[Kumaran Arul <AK...@woolworths.com.au>]

Hi

If you have 2 MINA servers behind a load balancer, is it possible to have keep-alive connections? 

Would the load balancer e.g. Alteon  load balancer) maintain the existing connection or create new connections  for every messag(s) 


Has anyone got experience with this

MINA can support this without a problem.  The problem really lies with 
the protocol implementation that is running on top of MINA.

Are you using an HTTP server built on top of MINA?  If so does that HTTP 
support keep-alive requests?
